| RELEASE INFO |
Another name to add to the long list of talented Drum and Bass producers from New Zealand, Tim Webb aka Luca
releases his first 12" single on new Samurai Music offshoot 'Red Seal'. Having churned out its fair share of talented tech flavoured
producers, Luca is essentially the first of his kind from New Zealand to really make an impact on the international drum and bass
scene with his funky, musically rich, and at times beautifully deep sound. 'Speakeasy' was one of his earliest productions and
sparked heavy label interest. The sax driven glide of this tune has caught many an ear and while we at samurai usually have a distinct
aversion to the saxophone in drum and bass, Luca has worked it into a simple, effortless magic we just couldn't resist. And from the
thick jazz club smoke out vibe to a different kind of fog, 'Eastern Highway' is an early morning trip into a deserted forest on the
outskirts of japan. Stuttering breaks, rich moody bass, and an eerily soothing soundscape guide you gently through the vibe. Another
truly special piece of music from an exciting new talent. Luca has recently featured on Hospital Records latest compilation 'Sick
Music', and Red Seal has just signed another 12" for him for the very near future. DJ support from Marcus Intalex,
Lynx, Eveson (who featured 'Speakeasy' in his Knowledge Mag cover Mix CD), Soul Intent, Presha and more
